Open Thread For Monday
Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. No, I'm not kidding. Have fun. Arrr!
This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Daily News....On police hiring, Villaraigosa said he has begun preparing his budget and looking for funds for the additional 1,000 officers he promised during his election campaign.
"It is going to be difficult, and we have to recognize that we might need some new revenues," Villaraigosa said. "I am looking to cut where we can, and that includes salaries for workers. But there comes a time when we have to be honest with ourselves. And if we want more police officers, it's going to cost us more money."
NOW HOW CAN CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE DWP PAY HIKE TOMORROW IN CHAMBERS?

Arrr, ye be mighty stupid 'bout the ways of pay hikes! A fool be knowin' that that thar department generates it own blimey revenue.
It don't be comin' from yur taxes, just yur ratepayers.

Mayor Villaraigosa, you mentioned you cut salaries for some workers....why not cut more salaries, but in city council by 50%.
2) Donate your profits from Downtown land deals to the city. We should have enough for 2,000 police officers.
3) Fire your relatives chosen for city jobs, by you, and put that money for more police officers.
4) Your CD 14 staff must depart from their positions A.S.A.P and you can also give that money for more police officers.

What's there to prepare Antonio? You've said it yourself when you beat me in a landslide that the City had a Budget surplus, why the change?

When Fabian Nunez took his trip to Mexico all he did was talk shit about our President, George Bush.
Why didn't he just stay in Mexico with Vicente Fox and his fellow drug traffickers? I don't know, he unfortunately came back...
I will list a couple of Mexico news media links and a short description of what Fabian Nunez's bashing Bush trip was all about.
1)"Bush does not do a sufficient thing against the traffic of drugs: Fabián Núñez"
http://www.jornada.unam.mx/2005/08/26/008n2pol.php?partner=rss
2)Democratic leader says EU that Bush gave the back to Mexico.
Mexico, DF. The US president, George W. Bush, "gave the back" to Mexico and "has not shown the respect that deserves" al government of Vicente Fox, the democratic leader of the Assembly of California said, Fabián Núñez.
http://www.elporvenir.com.mx/notas.asp?nota_id=25835
HE WENT TO MEXICO TO CREATE A DIVISIVE ATMOSPHERE AND AN AURA OF HATE. HOW CAN WE WORK ALONG WITH OTHER NATIONS IF POLITICIANS SUCH AS FABIAN WORK AGAINST DEMOCRACY!

In the news, "In This Week's Democratic Radio Address, the Assembly Speaker and Speaker Pro Tem Mark "Coastal Clean Up Day" by Asking Governor Schwarzenegger to Restore Vital Funding to the California Coastal Commission"
BUT LETS SEE A BIT FURTHER...
"Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez has appointed Chula Vista Mayor Steve Padilla."
HMMMM...WHO IS STEVE PADILLA AND WHY DOES NUNEZ WANT TO DIP IN THE THIS MONEY? ARE THERE ANY PRIOR PROMISES HE MADE TO MEXICO, ARE THEY PLANNING TO DIVERT MONEY TO MEXICO? ARE THEY KEEPING IT FOR THEMSELVES AND PRIVATE VACATIONS? WHO IS PADILLA?
" During the last several years, Chula Vista Mayor Steve Padilla has gradually allowed his sexual orientation to become part of his public image. Padilla was there to present a proclamation and was introduced as being gay and acknowledged it."
"Steve Padilla está aprendiendo español.“Tengo una hija de ocho años que quiere ser bilingüe y yo tampoco me quiero quedar atrás”, dice." Parte de ese trabajo, dice Padilla, es expandir las relaciones internacionales de Chula Vista con el vecino estado de Baja California, en México. Otra de las metas que Padilla tiene para su período en la alcaldía es trabajar con autoridades de Baja California.
“Trabajaremos para llegar al siguiente nivel con representantes de Baja California y de Tijuana”, dice. “Tendremos más participación en cooperación binacional”.
"Ya que muchos de los residentes de Chula Vista tienen familiares en la ciudad de Tijuana, Padilla afirma que esta ciudad será de especial interés para el cabildo. El alcalde asegura que está por comenzar pláticas con su colega de Tijuana, Jesús González.
“Pronto tendré una junta con el alcalde de Tijuana para compartir puntos de vista”."
OF COURSE FABIAN AND STEVEN PADILLA NEED MONEY FOR BAJA CALIFORNIA MEXICO...DRUG RUNNERS? COYOTES? WHAT'S COOKING UP THEIR SLEEVES?

So now Americans know what a "state of emergency" really looks like. (New Orleans)
In California, state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez was playing a different kind of politics when he used the phrase to tweak Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Nunez, a Democrat, insisted that Schwarzenegger follow the example set by Richardson and Napolitano and declare a "state of emergency" in the Golden State due to illegal immigration. Nunez was obviously trying to put the Republican governor in a tough spot — bash the administration or come across as soft on illegal immigration.
Political observers called Nunez's move "brilliant," but then he did something dumb. He followed up his remarks with a quick trip to Mexico City to meet Mexican President Vicente Fox. The Mexican officials pounced on Nunez. Were things really so bad in California? And if they were, then why weren't California officials willing to assume part of the blame?
For his part, Schwarzenegger didn't take the bait. In fact, in a letter to Nunez — dated before Katrina struck — the governor said that what California is experiencing at the moment doesn't bear even a faint resemblance to a real state of emergency.
NOW, MAYOR SAM, THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A REAL DUMBSHIT (FABIAN NUNEZ)

Fabian Nunez is a disgrace. The "speaker" was a total lackey of Contreras (why did MC have to pay $35,000 to control a moron?). Why did Villaraigosa say "Fabian is going to be a household name in the future" Fabian Nunez the Cheech of democratic politics.
Anonymous said:
$35K to Fabian Nunez from MC. With all the millions Labor has, now that's a cheap whore. You should learn from Tony and become a high price call girl with high priced clients like Broad and Burkle. And what was that in the RECALL flyer about Parke Skelton getting money from Labor to oppose secession - this after Tony revived their dead effort with State millions? How much money did Parke get paid anyway?

Yeah, Fabian will become a household name as soon as his crime record gets out - wife battering still isn't kosher. And what about those hundreds of illegals out there who claim with pride that their "coyote" - or smuggler, was none other than the Speaker of the California State Assembly.
Besides the crime record, do you know what else Fabian and Antonio have in common. Antonio got to be the second most powerful person in this State of 25 million while mustering only 14,000 votes in 1994. Fabian did him one better, he got to be Speaker while only managing 11,000 votes! Let's hear it for California democracy in action!

Gotta love the booing Fabian Nunez got when he lower himself to an all time low talking about "negative campaigning." The boos were defeaning. He felt like an asshole then tried to fix it but was too late. LAT today states the trouble he's in as speaker.
Nunez being paid $35,000 a year, personally, not as a campaign contribution....by the way this is highly illegal.

How many votes in the City of L.A. did Fabian get when he ran for assembly -3500. Still a long way to go to make up that 40,000 vote deficit of 2001.

Antonio gives another payback for endorsement to John Perez who use to be prez of Teacher's Union. AV is really cleaning up city hall like he promised.
Mayor Villaraigosa today named his members of the Community Redevelopment Agency board. He kept on labor activist Madeline Janis-Aparicio and added John Perez from labor,
